EGO STIMULATOR

That is called an EGO STIMULATOR here on board OLGA MAERSK. Looking at first seems like it's just something put there as a design. Yet, I was using it everyday before I start my at the Engine room.

It's like a hand patting you on your hand. Whenever you pull this knot tied on the arm of that hand with gloves it will give you you a pat on your head though of course you have to locate your head under this palm.

I feel like the hand is saying that "there you go, you can do it". Hahaha. I really loved this stuff. I don't know if my other co-crews here on board is using this one. But I think this is really one great invention and simulator.

As we all know. EGO means "I" or yourself. So whenever you use this one it boosts your trust in your self to do all the stuff that you need to do in your life.

TROUBLED FACEBOOK

These past few days I can't access so good on the main facebook page. That's why I have to use the mobile version of it using my laptop. It's kinda hard to use the mobile version cause everything is limited. But I have to endure or else no facebook at all. I hope everything goes fine again. I don't know if what is the problem. But I'm starting to like the main page of mobile facebook.

SUNDAY TREAT

Yummy. Again another delicious Snack from our chief cook. i really love it. Actually I ate two pieces. After eating the first one I thought about blogging about this yummy treat. I don't know what it's called but it's really delicious. That thing on the center tastes like strawberry. And the crust or the bread itself I think has a cinnamon oil because I can taste cinnamon oil.

FIRST COUNTRY TO HAVE A TOUR

Before we could go out of the terminal port of Singapore we have to pass the Immigration of the country. An they will put something on out Passports and Olah, tour mode immediately. As usual they compalined on my very long name for they have to write all of it. Hahaha. everywhere I go somebody always complains on my very long name. And it would just make me laugh coz I'm a sort of used to it already since I was a kiddo.

While on the cab, I saw this sign board. Just a proof that we are really here at Singapore. LOL

Our classmates older sister was the one who became our short time tour guide. She brought us to a Thai Restaurant. And I only took a photo of the most delicious food we ate there. And here it is a Java rice. I don't know why? But I really loved it. When I go back to Singapore i'll taste this one again.

Unfortunately, not all of us were able to go out. Iggy was left on board the ship at that time for he was a duty as what he said. That's why it was only the three of us. By the way that's the inside of that simple restaurant having a very delicious foods. I forgot the name of the restaurant but I think I can go there again, hopefully.

That was some of Erwin's co-performers in Universal Studious. Clockwise from left, Kuya Qaloy, Me, Erwin, Kuya Franz, Ate Milai, and Ate Camille. The photographer was Airon at that time.

After having that delicious dinner, we walked a few meters going to the condo unit of Erwin's sister. The condo was named as "THE PARC". It was very nice inside for there is a gym and a pool when you enter the entrance. I forgot the building name of their unit and the number. But we took the elevator to go there.

Some photo shoot with props. Ate Milai was the one who took the photo. These items we were using was Kuya Franz's stuff. He is a part of martial arts. These was taken from the balcony of the unit.

The first photo we had together with a foreigner. LOL. Her name was Carly. She performs as a wrestler in Universal Studious. She also lives in the unit together with Ate Milai and Ate Camille. This is just a photo souvenir nothing else. Smile.

GOING HOME

This is us while we are waiting for our cab to drive us to the airport of Singapore for us to go home. I look very exhausted because i was very excited that I forgot to fix my self.

Notice my three co cadets turned their head all together when we passed by the race track . They all look so interested yet they didn't see the track so clear.

This was a Casino we passed by. Even though we were on the car I really tried my best to made a shot of this one for I like the architectural design of the building. Very unique design. It was the first time for me to saw such design of a building.

I don't know if this one is connected to the Casino on the upper photo but they were just a few meters apart from each other. It looks like a flower. I wasn't able to ask the driver if what's the purpose of this building, yet the architectural design was so unique and eye catching. I wonder what's inside this one.

There you go, we saw the airport. Were getting near to our transportation home. Hahaha love it so much. I wasn't able to take a photo of the airport because we were in a rush. Because we still don't know the process of the airport in Singapore. It was our first time to these airport so we have to be ahead of our time always.

Inside the Singapore airport. It was so spacious. In the photo were some booths to buy some stuff. I did buy anything for it was all so expensive. Yet everything sold there was so nice in the eye. Someday i'll be able to buy some.

We were falling in line to have our boarding pass and our luggage be weighed. We were supposedly to go on board Philippine Airlines, but they said it was already full(i had a thought, why? we were booked already there?) they transferred us to Singapore Airlines which was not bad at all. But, this transfer of planes made some misunderstanding for our relatives who were excited to fetch us from the airport. Good thing we still meet up the end.

Hahaha. try to figure out why I took a photo of this male stewards of a plane. Noticed the luggage of the guy on the right side. I was shocked for it was the first time that I saw a man using LOUIS VUITTON items. MAde me laugh a lot. The briefcase he is holding on his left arm is also from LV. And both bags with his trolley are LV as well. HAhaha. I thought LV items are only for girls. Now I know it's also for man.

SUEZ CANAL TRANSIT

This is our ship while transiting Suez Canal. Transiting Suez Canal, we have to pass under this bridge which connects the two side of Egypt. Climate as usual is very hot. I was expecting to see the pyramids but I was not able to see it. They said that it's far from this spot.

I was shocked because I did not expect to see a field like this on Egypt. Because whenever I hear the name Egypt, what comes in my mind are Sands and pyramids. That's why I was quiet amaze when a saw a field like this on Egypt. Now I know where they got their farm needs for meal.

But there was a funny thing that I experienced while we were transiting Egypt's Suez Canal. The pilot on board thought that I was a Romanian. It really made me laughed. I didn't how he got into a perception like that. First of all I am dark. Hahaha. But then, he realized that I was a Filipino. But he insisted that I also look like an Egyptian. Now, I'm a living crossbreed person from different races around the globe.

ONE STUDY DAY

That was our white board onboard M/S ANNA MAERSK. Since that was called also as a cadet ship it has a facility like Classroom for Cadets to study and have lectures. Luckily, our Indian third officer at that time was so eager like us to study as well. He really loves teaching a lot of stuffs. At first we dimmed all the lights while waiting for him to arrive from his lunch break. He usually, conducts lectures to us during Sundays since this day is our available time wherein we are off from any duties for us to study and finish our assignments in our MANTRA.

After 45 minutes. The clean board earlier is filled with stuffs we studied. Very nice. We really learned a lot from him. Unlike on my ship now, we don't have classroom so I have to study on my own all the time. Good thing Engineers are very open on teaching me stuff I am asking to them.

This is third officer Aditya Mohan from India. A very good guy. He always makes fun with us. Especially to me. I don't know why? But on my other blog posts I will discuss what are those things he always to make me look like a s**t. But all in all, it was fun.

And this is the gang of Study loving cadets. Hahaha. from left Airon Verdadero, MArk Erwin Tamayo, ME, and Luigi "iggy" Victorio. They are all my classmates also in our school. All of us are Dual Cadets. I really had fun with these friends. Even though my jokes are not that so funny they'll laugh though very obvious sarcasm. We always watch How I met your mother (i often watch only the three of them) and The Big Bang Theory (Iggy often watch this one).

SELF CONFIDENCE

"you are amazing. People love you and respect you. You radiate charisma, charm and grace. You stand out from everyone around you. Talking to you is a privilege. And you deserve the best the world has to offer. It's all there out there, waiting for you"

These sentences were an excerpt from a book. And it triggered my attention. Why? simply because it tackles about how a single person could boost his self confidence in socializing with other people. 


Many people now a days are afraid of socializing to other people personally because of their appearance or maybe they are shy and not used on socializing with strangers or even to their classmates perhaps. 


Try reading those sentences on the top again. What do you think are the things in mind of the one who constructed these sentences? Or, what comes in your mind when you read it?


You can look into these sentences in two ways, either negatively or positively. Let's talk about the negative side of these sentences. Do you think it sounds selfish? Yes, I was thinking it's in a way selfishness. But of course, always bear in mind that if you are trying to analyze and understand something you have to look at it in the negative side and positive side. In that way you will be able to balance if which is which. If what does the writer really want to say. 


Now, getting back to the topic, let's see this one on the positive side. In a way, it may boost your self confidence. Try saying these sentences ten times in front of mirror before going out for a walk. Internalize it. I think it would help a lot. 


Let us always remember that what you believe what you are is what becomes who we are. Believe in your self always. God has made us all different from each other so in a way we would fill up what is missing to other person and vice versa. We all know that nobody is perfect because He created us to be completed with other people because no one can stand alon all by himself. 

TYPICAL DAY

In the photo were Ramel Palaubsanon, Gregory Ragsag and Richard Harayo.

When I was a kid, I was always thinking, what happens to a typical day of a seafarer? My father always tell me stories about what he does on board. And I always get excited for all of his stories was so fun. He would even tell me that they always have barbecue parties on the weekends. They were able to tour different places around the world. Buy stuffs which is not seen on our country and the like. I haven't heard any negative things from him about his work there. So, what comes in my mind was that, my father does not feel lonely when his out of the country.


But all of those were stories of my father. By those times I was confuse for my mother would tell the other way around of my father's happy stories. She tells me all the time how hard my father's job was. She would say that, "lahat na pinagpawisan sa tatay niyo kahit brief niya basa na sa pawis para lang maayos buhay natin kaya mag-ayos kayo sa pag aaral niyo." (every part of your father's body was wet with sweat, even his underwear, that's why you must study hard). That was the phrase that always comes in my mind whenever I am about to do something bad with my studies.


Let me tell you something about my mother. She is a very strict disciplinarian to the three of us. She does not want anything wasted. She did not even spoil us in toys or in anything we want. What she does when we ask something not so important is that,"alalahanin niyo ang pera hindi pinupulot, pinaghihirapan yan kaya makuntento sa meron na at alagaan ng mabuti" . We were used on those phrases all the time. We were not even used on having money on our pocket. I remembered that I had my first wallet when I was in High School already. That was really funny, because even though our uncles and aunts would give us money on Christmas day we always give it my mother for we don't know on how to spend it. What she will do is that, she will bring us to the mall and buy what we want using only those money we got. That was really fun. 


While we were growing up. My mother started giving us money for school. And it was so ridiculous that whenever she gives me 100pesos for a day to spend, I will not be able to use it. Instead, I kept those bills on my books. And time pass by I would forget about those bills. The reason? I don't know how to spend such large bill at that time. Maybe I was really used of not having money on my hand. But time pass by I learned how to spend but in the right way. 


Getting back to the topic. Why did I tell that story? Simple. These seafarers always do hard work on board. They would not tell their children what they do there on board because they want there children think that they are always fine even away from home. Tears from their eyes whenever they miss their family are even hidden for the purpose of not letting their family feel their sadness. 


Now I know. But why does my mother tell me all the stories that my father does not tell me? Simple. She just want the children to give importance on what they had. To learn how to appreciate a persons sacrifice. But why on that very young age? Hmm. I think she wants us to grow up as a simple person realizing every effort given to us. 


Now, what is a typical day for a seafarer? Simple. Working all day for the benefit of the family to survive and at the end of the day, thinks of the family at home. How are they? are they fine? and I miss them.

SNACK TIME

This was our snack last Sunday afternoon. A very yummy Bread. I forgot what it's called but it was so delicious. Every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon our Chief Cook prepares a snack for all the crews on board. And of course, I don't miss each snack time. 


But you know whenever I ate such delicious food I always think of my family at home. I was thinking if they were too eating enough food. But I'm sure they are, though at home we only eat simple food which serves it's purpose of making our tummy satisfied. 

I love You lord

       

     This is a very touching story. Take a little time that you have to read this. This passage would make you realize something in your life. Though I am already a 20 year old guy I haven't made such attachment with God like this boy did. I really feel sorry for what happened to him. i don't know why? but I haven't cried for almost three years now. But as I was reading this one I can't avoid crying. it really touched my heart. I am not ashamed of saying these words because I know it is what I really felt. I was just thinking how awful those "manangs" who always do the rosary at that church and do that thing to that boy. Either this is true or not, it really touched my heart. I just realized how far I am from God fro this years i have been living on this planet. I really love you Lord. and I am very sorry.


FAITH IN GOD

Somewhere in Milaor, Camarines Sur, there lived a fourth grader boy who would follow this route to school everyday: He has to cross the rugged plains and cross the dangerous highway where vehicles are recklessly driving to and from.
Once past this highway, the boy would take a short cut, passing by the Church every morning just to say Hi to God, and faithfully say his, "Magandang umaga po" in Bicol dialect. He was faithfully being watched by a Priest who was happy to find innocence so uplifting in the morning,
"Kamusta, Andoy? Papasok ka na?"
"Opo padre ... "he would flash his innocent grin, the priest would be touched. He was so concerned that one day he talked to Andoy.
"From school...", he advised "Do not cross the highway, you can pass through the Church and I can accompany you to the other side of the road...that way I can see that you are home safe...."
"Thank you father ... "
"Why don't you go home ... why do you stay in this church right after school?"
"I just want to say 'Hi' to my friend, God," and the priest would leave the boy to spend time beside the altar, talking to himself, but the priest was hiding behind the altar to listen to what this boy has to say to his heavenly FATHER.
"You know my math exam was pretty bad today, but I did not cheat although my seatmate is bullying me for notes... I ate one cracker and drank my water, Itay had a bad season and all I can eat is this cracker.
Thank you for this! I saw a poor kitten who was hungry and I know how he feels so I gave my last cracker to him ... funny but I am not that hungry.
Look, this is my last pair of slippers ...I may have to walk barefoot next week, you see this is about to be broken... but it is okay....at least I am still going to school.... Some say we will have a hard season this month, some of my classmates have already stopped going to school .... please help them get to school again, please God?
....Oh, you know, Inay hit me again, it is painful, but I know this pain will pass away, at least I still have a mother.... God, you want to see my bruises? I know you can heal them.... Here... here and .... oh ...blood ....I guess you knew about this one huh? Please don't be mad at Inay, she is just tired and she worries for the food in our table and my schooling that is why she hits us....Oh, I think I am in love ... there's this pretty girl in my class, her name is Anita ... do you think she will like me? Anyway, at least I know you will always like me, I don't have to be anybody just to please you, you are my very best friend! Hey your birthday is two days from now!!! Aren't you excited? I am! Wait till you see, I have a gift for you . but it is a surprise! I hope you will like it! Oooops, I have to go ..." then he stood up and calls out, "Padre, padre, I am finished talking to my friend ....
youcan accompany me to the other side of the road now"
This routine happens everyday. Andoy never fails. Father Agaton shares this every Sunday to the people in his church because he has not seen a very pure faith and trust in God, a very positive look at negative situations.
One Christmas day, Father Agaton was sick so he could not make it in the Church, he was sent to the hospital. The Church was left to 4 manangs who would chant the rosary in 1000 miles per hour, would not smile and would always find fault in what you do, they were also very well versed in cursing if you irritate them! They were kneeling, saying their kilometric rosary when Andoy, coming from his Christmas party,playfully dashed in.
"Hello God! I ......"
"P----!! (a curse) bata ka!! Alam mo nang may nagdadasal!! Alis!!"

Poor Andoy was so terrified, "Where's Father Agaton? He is supposed to help me cross the street ... and to be able to cross the street I will have to pass by the back door of this church .not only that, I have to greet Jesus. It is His birthday, I have a gift right here....

" Just as he was about to get the gift out of his shirt, the manang pulled his shirt and threw him out of the church. "Susmaryosep!!! (does the sign of the cross fervently) Alis kang bata ka, kung hindi matatamaan ka!!!
So the boy had no choice but to cross the dangerous side of the road in front of the church. He crossed. A fast moving bus came in.
There was a blind curve. The boy was protecting his gift inside his shirt, so he was not looking. There was so little time. Andoy died on the spot. A lot of people crowded the poor boy, the body of a lifeless young boy ...
Suddenly, out of nowhere a tall man in a pure white shirt and pants, a face so mild and gentle, but with eyes full of tears... He came and carried the boy in His arms. He was crying. Curious bystanders nudged the man in white, and asked,
"Excuse me sir, are you related to this child?
Do you know this child?"
The man in white, His face mourning and in agony, looked up and answered,
"He was my best friend . " was all he said. He took the badly wrapped gift in the bloody chest of the lifeless boy, and placed it near His heart.
He stood up and carried the boy away and they both disappeared in sight.
The crowd was curious ...
On Christmas Eve, Father Agaton learned of the shocking news. He visited the house, and wanted to verify about the man in white. He consulted the parents of Andoy.
"How did you know that your son died?"
"A man in white brought him here." sobbed the mother. "What did he say?"
The father answered, "He did not say anything. He was mourning. We do not know him and yet he was very lonely about our son's death, as if he knew our son very well. But there was something peaceful and unexplainable about him.
He gave me my son, and then he smiled peacefully. He brushed my son's hair away from his face and kissed him on his forehead, then he whispered something..."
"What did he say?"
"He said to my boy..." the father began, "Thank you for the gift .... I will see you soon ... you will be with me..." and the father of the boy continued, "and you know for a while, it felt so
wonderful ... I cried, but I do not know why....all I know is I cried tears of joy .... I could not explain it, Father, but when that man left, something peaceful came over me, I felt a deep sense
of love inside ... I could not explain the joy in my heart, I knew my boy is in heaven now but...tell me, Father, who is this man that my son talks to everyday in your church, you should know because you are always there ... except at the time of his death ......"Father Agaton suddenly felt the tears welling in his eyes, with
trembling knees, he murmurred, " ... He was talking to no one ......
but .. GOD...."

FAIL

 find the word that made the Warning sign a FAIL.

 find the word that made the Warning sign a FAIL.

Found it? This sign really made me laughed a lot. I don't know why? Maybe because it's a big FAIL. I am the one doing oil sample check every week. And it made me laughed when I saw this. maybe the person that made this warning sign was so obsessed with using google for searching and even put it on his warning sign. Maybe he was the reason of the internet consumption which was so high. LOL. 

CRAB FARMING

       Yes, we did some cram farming here at San Antonio, Chile. It was so fun for it was my first time to farm crabs in whole life. You can see the smile on my face. Actually that crab on my left hand clamped my fingers. Good thing was that I was wearing gloves that time. It didn't actually clamped my finger just the glove. We used chicken meats as bait and put it in a basket and let go the basket on the seabed so they could crawl in. It was really fun. The experience will last on my mind forever. 

These are just some of the crabs we caught. That's the second batch already of the pail. One bucket was full earlier by my other crew mates. 

There were also some shrimp who joined the bait. They look different from the typical shrimp that I saw in the market. 

VISITORS

This was a photo taken at San Antonio, Chile. They are all students from a university there at Chile. I was able to ask permission to have a photo with all of them. It was nice to know that students of my age from other countries have an interest of what are the operations being done in a container terminal port. They were so kind that they let me interrupt their discussion just fora shot. Thank you guys. Good Luck to your studies. 

I WILL BE THIS KIND OF BOYFRIEND

I actually got this one from a Note from facebook. When i read this, I was surprised. Why? I have done some of this and done a lot of mistakes. I don't know if this one is true or not. But what I have in my mind right now is that, I will do all the best for the one I love. And this things can help or not I will have that feeling for her. 

For every phrase i would add my opinion about it. 

When she stares at your mouth

Kiss her

-I don't know if it happened already that she stared on my mouth, but i think she would do that whenever there is something stuck on my mouth from my meal. LOL. But, i would gladly kiss her on her forehead. I'd love to do that a several times. 

When she pushes you or hits you like a dummy cause she thinks shes stronger than you

Grab her and don't let go

-This always happens. I feel happy whenever she does this to me. I feel like she is testing if I can defend for her. But all I can say is that, either I'm weak or strong I will do everything to protect her.

When she starts cursing at you trying to act all tough

Kiss her and tell her you love her

-This didn't happened yet. I am not wishing this thing to happen. But if that's the case I would make her feel more how much i Loved Her.

When she's quiet  

Ask her whats wrong

-I always do that to her. Because, i start to think of a lot of reasons why she's quiet for a sudden. I am used to her smiling and laughing every time we are together or not. And i will maintain that she won't be quite in any time.

When she ignores you

Give her your attention

-Now I know. But I will always give my attention to her. whenever, whatever. 

When she pulls away

Pull her back

-It is not new to have some fights. But this really the best thing to do. Just always pull her back. By that she would feel that a midst all she is still important to you. 

When you see her at her worst

Tell her she's beautiful

-She will always be beautiful to me. And I always tell her that. Saying this to her would put a smile on her lips. 

When you see her start crying

Just hold her and don't say a word

-I hate it when I saw a woman crying. That's why she knows that I don't want to see her crying. I am doing my best not to be a reason for her to cry. But when time comes that she cries yet I am not the reason, I'll be a shoulder for her to cry on. i can't stop it cause it's an emotion God has uniquely given to a woman whenever they feel down.

When you see her walking

Sneak up and hug her waist from behind

-Haven't tried this one yet. MAybe next time. 

When she's scared

Protect her

-I love teasing her of scary things. Most of the guys knows the reason why. 

When she steals your favorite hoodie

Let her keep it and sleep with it for a night

-She never did this to me. Why? I don't have a hoodie. LOL

When she teases you

Tease her back and make her laugh

-This is the most played game whenever were together. Tease each other. I love it. 

When she doesn't answer for a long time

reassure her that everything is okay

-That would scare me a lot if she does not answer for a long time. I might jump up to a lot of conclusions in my mind on why would she not answer for a long time. 

When she looks at you with doubt

Back yourself up

-This happened sometime. Hehehe. I just love seeing her looking at me like that. Because if she looks at me like that I feel like she really knows me a lot already. I always say something to her about me, and she would stare at me doubtedly, and by I could noticed that she does not believe for she knows who I am.

When she says that she loves you

she really does more than you can understand

-I LOVE HER so MUCH. That's all I can say about this one. 

When she grabs at your hands

Hold her's and play with her fingers

-That's what were doing all the time. We usually play this game called "sawsaw suka". 

When she bumps into you;

bump into her back and make her laugh

-I usually let her bump on me all the time whenever she wanted it.

When she tells you a secret

keep it safe and untold

-I am a good secret keeper you know why? I always forget a lot of things. I don't know why. But I'm happy that she understands this situation of mine. 

When she looks at you in your eyes

dont look away until she does

-Ahh, this is a great mistake I always commit. Because of my school training to me, I was used on not looking into the eyes when talking to them. Ahh. I must change this thing on me. 

When she says it's over

she still wants you to be hers

-i hope this does not happen. i love her

Stay on the phone with her even if she's not saying anything

 -I commit this mistake all the time, sorry.

When she's mad hug her tight and don't let go

 -I never saw her mad. I hope I won't.

When she says she's ok don't believe it, talk with her because 10 yrs later she'll remember you

 -I always don't believe it when something is wrong.

Call her at 12:00am on her birthday to tell her you love her

 -I this time differences. But there a way in everything.

Treat her like she's all that matters to you

 -I'd love doing this for her. Worth it.

Stay up all night with her when she's sick

 -I don't want her sick. But she is always sick. 

Watch her favorite movie with her or her favorite show even if you think it's stupid

 -This I have to adjust. But I'll do it with her. 

Give her the world.

 -Not only the world. Include the milky way. 

Let her wear your clothes

 -Hahaha. this made me laugh. Will I require her? Joke. If she'd like to, why not. 

When she's bored and sad, hang out with her

 -I always want doing this for her. Because I feel happier whenever I'm with her.

Let her know she's important.

 -She knows it well. What we have to do is to make them feel it.

Don't talk about other girls around her

 -Have to remove this on our talks. Sorry again. 

Kiss her in the pouring rain

 -Looks like a movie drama yet so romantic when happens.

When she runs up to you crying, the first thing you say is:

"Whose ass am i kicking baby?"

-Strongly agree with this. ;)

I am just so happy right now that I am in love. Thank you so much for being there all the time either when I need you or not. This distance between us will make us more stronger as time pass by. I might not be that so expressive of what I feel, but I want you to know that I love you so much And I will always do. I LOVE YOU.

SOME CHANGES

I'll be doing some changes on my Blog. I have noticed that there are some bloggers who tried to view my blog which were from other countries. so, to give back to them for the there time for viewing my blog, starting now I will be using ENGLISH language in writing my blog. I will do my very best to make my grammar good and understandable to everyone. Have a nice day to all. 

SHIP ALONG

That was a ship our passed by while we were trying to go to our anchorage area while waiting for our berth. I got a photo of it because of its great position with the nice background at the back. I was so amazed with this photo. i dunno why? maybe i'm getting crazy because of this long time i haven't place my foot on the ground. 

STARBUCKS

To inform you all, di ako mahilig pumunta sa mga sosyal na lugar. Lalo na kung yung lugar nay un ay pinupuntahan ng mga sosyal at mayayaman. Kaya naman noong August 27, 2011, i set foot again sa isang sosyal na lugar. Starbucks. Di ko alam, pero classified sa akin ang coffee shop na ito as sosyal. Kasi naman unang una ang mamahal lang ng kape at iba pa nilang inumin. Tapos yung mga donuts grabe sa presyo. Pero dinala ako dito uli ni Lauren.

Sabi niya sa akin, di naman daw sosyal yun, normal na tao lang din daw na punta doon. Eh kaso sa akin aksi parang hindi naman. Dapat daw sanayin ko lang ang sarili ko. Kaso ang nangyayari sa akin habang andun kami sa loob ng shop nay un di ako naging comportable. Hahaha. Di ko alam kung bakit, pero ang pakiramdam ko i don’t belong. Wala lang. Iba lang talaga siguro ang takbo ng isip ko.

Ayan po ang inorder naming. Ang sabi ko sa kanya wag na umorder ng madami ang mahal kasi. Actually umuulan nung pumunta kami diyan. Kaya ask niya ako kung gs2 q ba daw yung mainit, sabi ko yung malamig na lang. Kaya ayun, nakalimutan ko na kung anong flavour nung inorder niya sa akin. Pero masarap naman siya. Worth the price naman ang lasa. At maganda naman ang ambiance ng shop nila. Kaya ayos na din. Pero di ko lang alam kong babalik pa kami diyan.

Nga pala, pansinin niyo ang drawing sa salamin sa likod ng table. Hahaha. Natawa lang ako nung nakita ko sa pic. Siguro may isang bata na walang magawang matino at nag drawing ng tao ata yan na puro pangil ang ngipin hahaha. O siya, till here muna. Pero all in all, na enjoy ko saobra ang stay naming diyan. Dami din naming napagkwentuhan ni Lauren. 

Siya si Ava Marie Lauren Masuli . Nice smile. We had a round table for our coffee. And talked a lot about anything that comes in our mind. We even actually watch a pageant after having a coffee. And got home. 

Cakes

Naranasan niyo na bang makatanggap ng cake mula sa isang tao bukod sa pamilya mo? Siyempre, normal na naman siguro na bigyan tayo ng cake ng mga magulang natin o di kaya ng mga tito or tita natin. Ilang taon kayo nung naranasan niyo ang bagay nayun? Kasi kung ako ang tatanungin niyo, ang unang cake na natanggap ko sa birthday ko ay nangyari noong 20^th birthday ko. Hehehe. Natuwa lang ako. Alam niyo kasi di kami sinanay ng mga magulang naming na dapat lagi may cake kapag birthday naming. Kaunting salo-salo lang ay sapat na sa amin palagi. Nakasanayan na kaya hindi na naming hinahanap yung mga ganung bagay kapag kaarawan naming kahit noong mga bata pa kami magkakapatid.

Ngayong birthday ko iba’t-ibang cake ang natanggap ko. Ito ang mga larawan kasama ang mga paliwanag.

 

Ito ang pinakaunang cake na natanggap ko. Hehehe. With cookies on top yan. Nagulat ako kasi naka post yang pic nay na wall ko sa FB. Di kasi ako nag expect talaga na may magbibigay sa akin ng cake. Kaya ayun, grabe ang tuwa ko. At sa sobrang tuwa ko, pinagmalaki ko pa yan sa mga kaklase ko, di ko alam kung nainggit sila o anu. Basta saya ko sobra nung nakita ko ito.

Pag binuksan ito siya. Astig diba? Mukhang masarap, kaso di ko natikman yan. Kasi nga ma expire na siya kung antayin pa ako nung cake na yan. Kaya ayun, hanggang tingin na lang ako. Hehehe. Ang daming cupcakes niyan oh, ewan ko lang kung di ka pa mabusog kakakain niyan hehehe. Kaya sobrang sobra talaga ang pasasalmat ko sa taong nagbigay sa akin niyan. Highly appeciated talaga. Salamat. Hindi ko na ito nakita sa personal pero at least naibigay siya sakin through facebook. Yung cookies pala na kasama niya on top kanina, nakita ko pa yun in person. Kaso di ko na nakain kasi pa-expire na din siya. Pero ayos lang. Basta ang saya ko talaga sa bagay na ito.

Oh ha. Ito ang pinakanakakabigla na cake sa buhay ko. Grabe, sobrang surprise talaga yan. Pumasok kami sa Goldilocks sa SM Dasma. Tapos, pinaupo niya ako doon sa pinakadulo na upuan. Sa totoo lang wala talaga pumasok sa isip na ganyang bagay. Nagulat na lang ako nung may dala yung isang crew na cake at may sindi pa yung kandila. Nangyari ito august 27, 2011 na. Sabi niya sa akin, post birthday celebration ko daw. Grabe, di ko akalain na continued pa pala ang mga surprises. Chocolate Mousse pala ang cake na yan. Ayun, syempre speechless na naman ako. Anu pa ba aasahan sa akin pagdating sa mga reaction sa mga bagay bagay. Lagi naman ako wala masabi. Kaya ayun, di halata sa mukha ko na surprised ako, pero sobrang surprised talaga ako. Di kasi ako sanay na ako yung binibigyan ng mga surprises. Mas sanay ako na ako yung nag bibigay ng surprises sa isang tao. Kaya laki talaga ng gulat ko sa bagay na ito. Actually, nakatingin sa amin yung mga tao sa loob ng goldilocks nung nangyayari yung bagay na ito. Di ko alam kung ang iniisip ba nila eh, bat ganun? Baliktad ata ang pangyayari. Kasi diba usually sa mga pelikula lalaki ang gumagawa ng bagay na ito.

O sige na, papakilala ko na ang nagbigay ng mga yan sa akin. Si ava marie lauren masuli. Hehehe. Kaya sobrang thankful ako sa kanya. Sobrang ligaya talaga ang binigay sa akin ng mga bagay na ginagawa niya para sa akin kaya maraming salamat talaga.

Alam ko lagi ako speechless sa mga bagay, pero salamat pa din. Nauunawaan mo ako sa kabila ng lahat. Salamat ng marami.
